Uh, Matt, uh, welcome back to the show, but what the heck's going on on the ground in, uh, Yemen?

Well, like in a, in another, uh, I wouldn't call it a microcosm, it's like another theater, we're seeing another, the, this, a, a similar paradigm shift to, um, what happened with, um, Iran after we attacked them.

You know, we've, we had our bases very close to them, our 20th century model of, you know, jet fighters parked on runways, uh, aerial refuelers to keep them flying, aircraft carriers, uh, that, you know, can't get that close, uh, so they have to refuel their attack jets also.

That model was, was shown wanting and our, and we've been driven out of those bases in, in pretty much out of Kuwait, uh, Bahrain.

Uh, you know, maybe we have a little bit left in Saudi Arabia, but we're bo- mostly pushed all the way back to, to Jordan, and they can still hit us.

Well, the Saudis have been trying and, uh, and it was at our behest, the Saudis have been h- have been trying to, uh, uh, attack the Yemen, a- attack the Yemenis.

You know, we...

But Matt, if it didn't work before, and if, and if our air power alone did not work against the, uh, Iranians, where is this one going?

That just encourages it.

Well, there's a few things going on.

One is that all of our quick reaction forces are already deployed.

They're not sitting in Fort Bragg waiting to go.

They're already in the theater, worn out, in limited intensities, eating MREs, out on ships three bunks high.

So they're already fully committed.

They can't just swing that around and participate in the Yemen thing.

And

Matt Bracken, give us your analysis on what comes next, different scenarios.

Yeah, I think that the biggest weapon on this battlefield right now is how our enemies and the Israelis can use Trump's ego as a weapon.

I think they've got him psychoanalyzed down to a T, and they can steer him like a little remote control robot driving around the floor.

So the commander in chief of the American armed forces, I think, is completely controllable externally.

He's gotten rid of, they've either quit or been fired, Kelsey Gabbard, Joe Kent, many others.

And now he's just got Yes Men and Sick Offense around him.

He watches Fox News all day.

massive bloody nose and a broken leg.

That just encourages them.

Well, our...

There's a f- a few things going on.

One is that all of our quick reaction forces are already deployed.

They're not sitting in Fort Bragg waiting to go.

They're already in the, in the, you know, theater, worn out in living in tent cities, eating, eating MREs, out on ships, you know, three bunks high.

So they're already fully committed.

You're talking about Blitzkrieg.

What do you think that they mean when they say Washington has received a clear warning from Iran's new missiles?

Well, I think we're truly in a 5D chess game to this extent.

There are possibilities – of striking a ship and causing a mass casualty event, which Iran may not wish to do, because there's no real I'm not sure how the American public would react.

Forget about sinking a carrier, just hitting it and having a big fire like the forestall, which was Vietnam era.

Just having a massive fire, you're going to have hundreds of casualties.

from smoke and fire and other things, explosions going off.

So whether or not it sinks, the carrier will be out of action and you'll have a huge number of casualties.

What can you tell us about what's going on there?

I'm

sorry.

We did.

Whereas somebody calls it Israel, U.S. Israel.

That's right.

Clearly they're running our country now.

All the people, all the shot callers around Trump are Zionists.

Go

said

Lavender decided who to kill.

So the robot's not just autonomous.

It decides who to kill.

Right.

And in the case of February 28th, they decided since we're going to, you know, they'll be lulled into false sense of security because they think we're meeting in Geneva, you know, on Monday.

what's the best time to drop all these tomahawks for a time on target impact so nobody can get hit first and then people are warned and go into hiding.

Go ahead.

Casino.

From World War II on, we used 15 kiloton nuclear bombs at the end of World War II on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Why? Because you would hit the city and it would wreck the city with one bomb.

But if you can put up number one, which shows like two views of Manhattan, it says World War II bomb accuracy.

Yeah, see that blue thing on the left? We were always taught in the movies, you know, 12 o'clock high, that kind of movie.

that we were doing, that the British were just carpet bombing cities at night, but America was doing daylight precision bombing, you know, with the Norden bomb site.

But in reality, our bomb raids over Germany had a circular error probability of six kilometers, six kilometers.

Modo Casino.

What does this, uh, graphic tell us here?

Well, it's ...

This is, this is where I ...

when I say that we're fighting a 20th century war against a 21st century adversary, and this worked great in the 20th century, you know, against, uh, s- in Serbia, former Yugoslavia, uh, Libya, Syria, Venezuela.

It's absolutely great.

But it's like, you know, a, a heavyweight boxer against a toddler in those cases.

Sure it's gonna work.

Yeah

But how significant is this, Matt? What's your reaction? What do you make of it?

Yeah, I think the morale factor is extremely significant.

And there are some things that should have been predictable when this war was begun, because these ships were previously provisioned by the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain.

So fresh food could be bought locally or even flown in on C-17s, you know, refrigerated pallets, things like that, and then transferred directly to ships that are nearby, including by helicopter in some cases.

You know, the stuff that really counts for morale, like fresh tomatoes and things like that.

because all they're eating now is canned stuff you know so canned peas canned everything and it gets pretty old um i was on in my time in the on active duty in the 80s i was a i was not assigned to a particular ship but my um my you know seal platoons would ride on various ships so i got to spend a few weeks to months on uh i don't know eight or ten different ships different types of ships And there's a huge difference between a smaller ship, relatively speaking smaller, like a destroyer, or in those days frigates or LSTs, which had a crew of 200 or 300, 400 men, and where the whole top isn't just a flight deck.

You know, on these ships, you're never more than 100 feet from being outside.

It's very difficult to be able to rescue that person.

And the interceptors that we have to fire up at them are going one to one and a half kilometers a second.

That means their closing rate together in the last second, one second, is covering more than five kilometers of the interceptor going up and the warhead coming down.

And according to Dr. Postol, Our patriots have been a big con job, a sales job, claiming a 90% success rate when you study the videos, which you can do now because they're filmed from every angle, you can analyze it.

The rate is less than 10%.

The patriots and fads have basically been a psyop, a morale booster.

It's a way of saying, don't worry.

And, um, uh, you know, when you're looking at the, the issue, it, it's not even just, uh, uh, oil per se or, or even the fertilizers, but one of the bigger issues that it's, and, and it's about to start striking, and I was actually just checking one of my sources here, uh, is that in the coming weeks, we're now just in a n- a, a single digit weeks, some of the projections are, that the, uh, inability and the insufficient supply of jet fuel and diesel ... is gonna start having its impact because w- uh, everybody's used up all their reserves in their storage facilities, uh, whether SPR or others, and there's gonna ha- there's gonna start being a major impact on, on, uh, jet, jet pl- fuels.

Yeah, and this, this affects our allies a lot more than us.

And so, so, um, even in Europe, things like jet fuel become, they, you, you just can't make it because you w- want it, you know, you need to import it.

And everybody in the world is paying a real price, not just a paper price, for delivered jet fuel.

So it, it, it, it, um, you know, has increasing effects on the economies of our allies.

You, you know, I'm, I'm kind of tying this in with, um, what, what, um, if we have time to talk about that Russian Arctic route.

You know, the, the Koreans are building, uh, icebreakers and, um, and Arctic-capable LNG tankers to go to the north end of, of Russia, the north s- you know, the Arctic side of Russia.

Uh, meanwhile, especially after the MOU was signed, some of the troops started redeploying 'cause they thought the war was over, and now that some of them got sent back in, what do you think is going on at the tip of the spear?

Under 17, not admitted without pimp.

Remember when Trump signed the MOU, that was supposed to begin a 60-day pause.

For 60 days, ships could leave the Persian Gulf with no fee.

That was part of that memorandum 0.5.

Ships can just leave, because we're not going to penalize innocent ships.

We're just trapped in here.

So for 60 days, ships could just leave.

You won't need like recruitment to be worried.

So why the hell did we add Pickaxe Mountain into the mix? What's the thinking behind it?

you possibly you know and and uh uh brandon weichert says you know if you're if you're looking for for um uh rationality to bail us out like nobody would be that crazy it's completely irrational we're in a post-rational decision process in america when you have people like marco rubio and pete hegseth uh that are the chief advisors to trump I think that it may possibly be, the idea might be, as an exit strategy, we have to have some victory.

So if we drop 100 bunker busters, or God forbid, we drop bunker busters followed by a tactical nuclear weapon into Pickaxe Mountain, which could be empty for all I know.

It could have no meaning whatsoever.

It's like Top Gun Maverick.

It's a Hollywood concoction, right? It's just a narrative to spin to the American audience that they can then say, we blew up Pickaxe Mountain.

We have solved the Iranian nuclear problem forever.

in there.

Yeah, ask him

... really super important, we've all grown up with the concept of CEP, uh, circular error probability.

I think it's, uh, what percentage of missiles will s- the warhead will hit within a certain boundary.

And if, and, you know, during the, the London Blitz, a V2, if it had a CEP of a mile, it just meant it's randomly hitting London.

So don't worry about it because, you know, your block might get blown up, but they can't hit the munition plant.

Now they can hit the munition plant with one shot, right? So it, it changes everything.

And if, if, um, if it gets down to the, to the, uh, the desal plants, yeah, then the, the Gulf s- the Gulf is, is, is done.

Okay, do that, yeah

Where do you see this going, Matt Bracken?

You know, this merger with Israel and then what you were mentioning before the break with Patrick Byrne and the summary judgment, these things are so un-American.

What a farce of a democratic republic or whatever you want to call our constitutional republic.

It's a total farce when they're going to merge us with a pariah state, a genocidal pariah state, merge our intel and Pentagon, which means that – you know, the little master blaster evil dwarf will really be running the Pentagon and the CIA officially instead of informally.

And when a judge can just say, no jury, no trial, you're guilty, I don't recognize this country.

So I'm pretty blackmailed about, you know, how do we pull out of this? It's like, you know, we're in an airplane.

The engines are on fire, losing altitude, mountains ahead.

war goes? I mean, I think Iran, until we give them what they want, has the cards and isn't going to stop.

opening salvo three years ago.

Yeah, depending on when you, you know, you could say it really started with the Maidan coup in 2014.

There's a bomb blast in the Med.

That's where a Russian ship was sunk, either torpedoed or otherwise sabotaged.

This was like two or three years ago.

And that ship was carrying a strategic cargo through the Mediterranean to Vladivostok.

Then you've got the U.S. destroyer disgracefully sinking a virtually unarmed, newly commissioned Iranian, smaller than a frigate, like a Corvette, called the Dina, which was doing a diplomatic port visit in Iran.

Financing all these deeper and deeper strikes on the energy sector and on civilian targets inside Russia, all extremely

Martinson's been doing that a lot, doing a lot of, sorry.

Well, the generator analogy is, If your power goes out in your house, you can run your emergency backup generator as long as you've got jerry cans of fuel in the garage, right? So you can have the pretense that everything's fine, because my lights are still on, my refrigerator is still working.

Right, but the generator outside the garage is running, and you've only got one more jerry can of fuel.

So we're taking this Suez crisis, or excuse me, Strait of Hormuz crisis, right to the edge of when we run out of generator power.

Then what? The generator power is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

We're taking it down to the bottom quarter, where we're getting to the dead zone of what's in the SPR.

Some of these salt caverns are going to start collapsing, or they can't be reused, or you get into a diminishing return.

So with that, shifting over to Ukraine, is Ukraine's model, Ukraine, NATO, United States, similar model to what they're doing to Russia right now? And do you believe that Russia, you know, in terms of the infrastructure that's been attacked, are they getting worn down with a similar style?

Since it's the Garden of Eden, I guess we can't.

Like Rodney King said, why can't we all get along? You know, it's funny because so much of what we believe is purely propaganda and narrative driven.

We were the enemy of the Russians for 75 years during the communist era of the Cold War and And we still are, even though they threw off communism and they've become much more religious than Western Europe or America in terms of belief in Orthodox Christianity.

But...

When you look at other situations, during World War II, we had really incredibly harsh propaganda against Germans and the Japanese.

The Japanese were portrayed as like nearsighted monkeys, slanty eyes with little glasses, practically subhuman as you can get.

And we actually fought a bloody war, virtually war of annihilation on the Pacific Islands, dropped atom bombs on their cities.

So it's not really criticism for Alex, but Bigley, what are you doing, guys? That's all.

With Pete Pence, that's

right.

Might as well be Mark Levin.

She's one of the, when you hear people say this cliche, finish the job, like Trump has declared victory like 37 times or maybe it's he declared a deal is about to be signed 37 times.

And now we're going back to full war after this very suspicious Apache helicopter supposed incident where we never see any pictures or meet the pilots.

But yeah, the finish the job people are like, well, we did 75% of the job, so all we gotta do is go back and just finish that 25%.

It's like, are you on drugs? Iran is 10 times bigger than South Vietnam.

Why do you think people your age, and this is not a blanket statement, this is not everybody, not every boomer, but why do you think so many MAGA boomers won't change? And they say the same thing you just said, finish the job, finish the job, finish the job, right, left.

Trump said again two times last week that he had to do it for Israel.

That's right.

But now he's saying, "Netanyahu will do whatever I say, and I may run." Uh, you know, he's kind of joking, but it's like his mindset.

He believes the polls that are favorable to him, and he dismisses the polls that are f- disfavorable to him as fake news.

And he's, he quoted or mentioned some poll that said, "I have ninety-nine percent favorability in Israel." Well, th-that's not necessarily a great thing because Israel has, like, zero favorability in the rest of the world.

You know, this, this is, this is like, you know, the imperial Japanese saying that, you know, some warlord in China is on our side or, or, you know, the, the Nazis saying that, that, you know, the, uh, Latvians are on our side in World War II.

I mean, it's not exactly a ringing endorsement, you know, that when you see these pictures and, uh, drone videos of, of Gaza and they look like Dresden, you know, it's a non-nuclear Hiroshima done one two thousand pound bomb at a time.

Days, weeks, and even years ahead of the news cycle, alexjoneslive.com is tomorrow's news today.

I mean, is this just coincidence, Matt, or is something more nefarious going on?

Much more nefarious.

And, you know, I have to set this up with kind of like going back to the, you know, the naval war aspects of it.

The choke points are now everybody can squeeze a choke point.

The Houthis in the Red Sea can squeeze a choke point.

So our prosperity, global prosperity, the rising of everybody's standard of living, you know, from China to Vietnam, Bolivia, people are living better now than they ever did in history.

I mean, it's a fact.

Whatever it takes.

I mean, we're looking at the end of the world's energy backbone as we have known it for our entire lives, and the thing that strikes me about your tweets and what I see out there is that people don't realize what's already happened, do they?

No, they don't.

People, people think that because there's still gasoline at the station, you know, that, that things are gonna get back to normal, in a few months we'll be, we'll be okay again.

They really don't get the big picture, which is, you know, there's, there's like a, a, between all these nations, there's a conveyor belt that is, that is, um, sliding these ships across the globe at the, you know, at a bicycle speed.

And, you know, if you, if you just isolate particular countries, Australia, Japan, UK, you know, every day, every other day, another, another tanker rolls in and keeps them topped off.

They stopped coming, [laughs] you know, on February twen- or 28th or 29th.

They stopped coming.

What do you think's gonna happen next?
